Mu Xue and Mu Xue

Hearing this, Yun Yuyao suddenly stopped cutting vegetables, and the blade hung in the air, trembling slightly.

However, she quickly came to her senses, as if nothing had happened. The kitchen knife in her hand flew up and down rhythmically again, and the "da da da" sound of cutting vegetables rang out again.

"Selling ice is definitely a good option," she said without looking up as she expertly cut vegetables. "But you need a business license first. Otherwise, they could arrest you in a matter of minutes, and then you'd be in big trouble."

“How do I get a business license?”

Yun Yuyao's knife was still moving, but her mouth was not idle: "Let's not talk about whether it is easy to get a business license to sell ice cubes. Do you know how complicated the situation is here? The forces of all parties are intertwined. If you are not careful, you may touch other people's 'cake'. By then, being taught a lesson will be the least of your worries. You may not even know how you died!" There was a hint of warning in her voice, but also helplessness, as if she had personally experienced those terrible consequences.

After hearing this, Mu Xue fell silent.

She knew in her heart that this kind of bullying was common everywhere, especially among those who had relatives in high-level positions in the [medical clinic], who were even more unscrupulous.

"Here, anything related to cooling off needs a business license.

Take pears for example. Even if you get a fruit business license, you still have to apply for a special pear business license.

"Alchemy and talismans also require corresponding licenses." Yun Yuyao said as she put the chopped potatoes and beef into the pot. The pot instantly made a sizzling sound and the aroma spread.

"Meiliguo probably has connections at the [Medical Clinic]. It looks like it's going to be hard for us to get first place in this points race!"

Just when Yun Yuyao was about to continue speaking, a loud "crash" suddenly came from behind her.

The spatula in her hand shook violently, and some soup splashed out.

She looked back in confusion and saw a pile of crystal clear ice cubes scattered on the ground.

In an instant, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees as if being pulled by an invisible hand, and both of them couldn't help but shiver.

"Ah? What are you doing..." Yun Yuyao opened her mouth in surprise and looked at Mu Xue with confusion in her eyes.

"These are for you. Since I can't sell them, I'm giving them to you to cool down." Mu Xue looked calm, as if what she had just done was just an ordinary little thing.

"...Oh, I didn't say it can't be sold, I just said there is a high probability that it can't be sold." Yun Yuyao came back to her senses and said with a smile, "I'll go with you after dinner." As she said that, she neatly brought the prepared food to the table.

Today's lunch was rice with beef stewed with potatoes.

Just by looking at the temptingly colored potatoes and tender beef, the rich broth and the fragrant aroma, you know that this dish must be extremely delicious.

The two sat at the table and enjoyed the delicious lunch.

About a quarter of an hour later, after they had eaten and drunk their fill and had a short rest, they embarked on their journey to "seek immortality and ask for the way."

It has to be said that the road here is long and winding. Mu Xue felt as if she had walked "tens of thousands of miles" today, and her legs were sore.

After a lot of effort, the two arrived at the center of the trading market.

There is a big house here, which looks like a courtyard house, simple and elegant.

Just as the two of them were looking at the courtyard curiously, a handsome young man suddenly appeared beside them.

"Hey! Hello, young ladies!" The young man smiled and stood in front of the two of them with a warm look in his eyes.

"Hello, may I ask what I can do for you, young man?" Yun Yuyao asked politely, with a faint smile on her face, but a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

"My name is Xu Hui," the young man introduced himself. "Judging from your facial expressions and body movements, this should be your first time at the [Clinic], right?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions on Yun Yuyao and Mu Xue's faces instantly became solemn.

They looked at each other and thought to themselves that this man named Xu Hui could tell their situation just by observing them. He must have been observing them in secret for a long time.

This discovery made the two of them suspicious and more alert.

The young man keenly sensed the suspicion in the two people's eyes, and his smile froze for a moment. However, he reacted very quickly, immediately putting on an even more enthusiastic smile, and said anxiously: "Oh, oh! Sisters, please don't rush to judge. Let me explain the matter clearly first.

As for me, I have a special business here, helping newbies like you get business licenses."

As he spoke, he extended his right index finger and waved it in the air to emphasize his professionalism. "But this service isn't free. It costs two points per session. Honestly, that's a steal!"

"Look at those over there." He suddenly changed the subject, raised his arm and pointed to the other side of the market.

I saw a few people with confused expressions like Mu Xue and Yun Yuyao being stopped by others.

Those who stopped them kept talking like a machine gun and gesturing quickly in the air with their hands, as if trying to convince the other party.

"See them? They're my colleagues," Xu Hui said, leaning forward slightly, covering his mouth with his hand as if sharing some profound secret. He leaned over to the two men and whispered, "They're so ruthless, charging three points a time! By comparison, asking me for help is definitely the most cost-effective option, hands down!"

Yun Yuyao frowned slightly, a trace of thought flashed in her eyes, and she asked: "Then let me ask, since we can handle it ourselves, why do we still need your team? Can't we do it ourselves?" Her tone was neither humble nor arrogant, with a hint of inquiry.

Upon hearing this, Xu Hui slapped his forehead, as if regretting not explaining this key issue earlier. Then he smiled and explained, "Of course you can do it yourself! However, there are many tricks involved.

The process of applying for a business license is extremely cumbersome, with all the formalities and documents so complicated that it makes people dizzy.

Moreover, the staff here are very frugal with words. They won't give you a detailed tutorial and won't answer your questions patiently.

That's why our team came into being, specifically to help newcomers like you solve these troublesome issues, ensuring that you avoid detours and get your license smoothly."
